Lola and Binky are inseparable! See the world through a toddler`s eyes as this delightful little girl and her favourite toy enjoy a day out at the zoo. What do they see and who do they meet? Find out who Roars, and who is - shhh! - Fast asleep! With a touch-and-feel, press-out jigsaw piece on every spread, toddlers will enjoy learning simple first words, as they follow Lola and Binky on their adventure at the zoo. Bright, fresh illustrations by Lara Jones bring these two charming characters to life.

Lola and Binky are a little girl and boy of about the same age as the children who will be delighted by the very unusual illustrations in this heavy boardbook. Each illustration features a touch-and-feel press-out piece with textures to touch that match each picture. For instance, when Lola and Binky have fun at the park, their pet dog comes along with them. One of the illustrations shows their friendly dog, and this picture can be removed from the page, then snapped back in again, like a piece in a jigsaw puzzle. Better yet, the dog�s back is covered with a patch of real fur-like fabric. When toddlers touch it, they�ll be tempted to think they�re touching a real dog. In this book, Lola and Binky feel a soft fabric beach towel, a rough-textured sandcastle, the shiny metallic surface of Mom�s car, and more. There are four charming titles in the Lola and Binky series. Kids will love every one of them!

Many of these individuals actually live, but have lifelong affects as a result of gun violence. Some continue to live with crippling wounds and medical bills.

Every law enforcement officer in the community is not bad. Quite frankly, they should be treated with dignity and respect. However, this is my message to officers that are not good, if someone is breaking the law your first reaction shouldn't be deadly force.I know what they taught you in training, but you also have to know when to use your communication skills to de-escalate what you perceive to be a volatile situation. Last but not least, don't apply for the job if you are afraid.When I was working in law enforcement, I de-escalated a lot of volatile situations. Through this book - my story - you will be guided through various scene of my life that includes family, love and my unbelievable experience as a gun violence victim.
